Our concept

Tea and Coffee Crafters

Peter and Penny Wolff owners of Dandelion & Driftwood, opened their doors on 10/10/10 with an aim to understand the coffee & tea consumer and to empower each and every customer by offering high quality single origin and blended coffee & tea. Their aim is to widen customer’s palate experiences and encourage customers to explore options at a level that will vibrate with them.

Dandelion & Driftwood are well known for their Tea & Coffee Craft. They provide an innovative mix of new and old methods of enjoying the timeless classics; tea & coffee.

D&D

So what's in a name?

Dandelion represents that magic blow ball that no one can resist wishing upon. With one single breath that magic spreads, being carried away by the wind and the dandelion travels like little parachutes for miles and miles across the earth. Dandelions are the magic of what is in that cup in your hands that you are drinking it embodies the delight, the enchantment, the science and the excitement of the magical cup.

Driftwood represents that piece of wood that floats, can survive a life in water, continues to be worn away, eventually washes up but still possesses strong qualities. Driftwood travels for some time and length but continues its journey uninhabited, exposed to the elements and continues to take risks. Driftwood symbolizes the eternal relationship between earth and water.

Driftwood in this blend notes of molasses, liquorish, dry berries will dance on the palate, with a rich dark chocolate body & an earthiness to the finish.

When visiting us in store please ask what the single origins are on offer for that day. There are so many we like to keep you guessing!
